Anyone Know What XV Is Up To?

Pretty self-explanatory. The guy dropped Popular Culture over a year ago and it was amazing. After that I read that Just Blaze was executive producing his first album, The Kid With The Green Backpack. It was intended to be released in late 2013, but obviously that never came to fruition. He’s surely lost a significant amount of hype since Popular Culture, but he’s super talented and I considered him one of the best up-and-coming rappers I’ve heard in a while. So… does anyone have any idea what the hell he’s doing? Waiting this long to release an album seems somewhat counterproductive.

Vizzy is laying low, he deleted a bunch of his tweets, changed his profile picture and header on facebook to some V for vendetta type shit and then went ghost for like 3 months, then about a month ago he tweeted again finally, telling people to hit the email if they had beats so I think he may be cooking up another tape at least to hold us over because about a year ago he mentioned the album was 80% done

Thus I think the V for Vendetta stuff has something to do with the label in one way or another, TKWTGB has been in the works allegedly for years now but nothing has ever been concrete, all we can do is wait.

But he re-released all the tapes remastered with some bonus tracks earlier this year, zero heroes, vizzy zone, everybodys nobody, and he said he had something special planned for the re-release of the square in the circle.

@A-Electronica Well, it’s possible because he and his main producer in the past (seven) don’t work together, nothing has ever arisen as to why they don’t because they used to be really really tight and seven produced most of his songs, which is a fuckload, RG is missing sooooo many and I’m working on getting them up but that’s beside the point.

I do think he’ll stick with one main producer on the album, however I think there’s a chance it might be his cousin who produces a bunch of his new stuff, The Awesome Sound or perhaps even some Xaphoon production, both of them were featured on the squarians vol. 1 tape.

He put out that song “Everyday Life” that was pretty good after Squarians Vol. 1, and it had the album name Squarians V.2 when I put it in iTunes, so I assumed that was coming soon, but that was almost 9 months ago now. Hope he comes back soon

@AKNC17 Xaphoon would be awesome too. Wouldn’t mind hearing at least one beat from him. Well I’d say this thread adequately answered my question. Looks like the consensus is that we’ll be seeing an XV album sometime very soon. Hopefully early to mid 2014.

@A-Electronica I honestly think he’s got his shit together at this point, and I think we’ll get a tape along with some possible album news either right before new years or hopefully before spring of next year.

But Xaphoon is definitely a good possibility because he’s not touring with Chiddy anymore, he left chiddy bang but he’s still going to produce.
